One, two, three weeks since you last saw me
Four, five, six, seven days of the week I can't sleep
I've been counting all the things we could've done differently
I'll keep counting all the times I wish that it was me
Eight, nine, ten songs that I play in my head
Thirteen tracks on the album you said you couldn't forget
I've been counting all the things that you could've said to me
I'll keep counting all the messages I write and then delete
And how many glasses of wine will it take
'Til I break my own rules, said you made a mistake
And how many lonely nights will pass
'Til you call me up drunk, say that you want me back
But it's all in my head, it's all in my head
One, two, three years 'til you forget about me
I'll be at the bar, your friend's band is playing
Your new girl asks, "Who is she?"
And you'll start counting all the things you could've done differently
Just 1,095 days that you could've been with me
And I'll start counting all the minutes
'Til you walk up and say, "How have you been?"
And I make some excuse to run away
'Cause when I see your face it all starts again, and again, and again, and again
One, two, three songs that I'll write, but never send
I'll keep counting the days 'til I feel okay again
